"This ...... I guess I can grasp a little bit of fur. Feng Xiaochen said sneeringly.

The eight-character mantra of independence and self-reliance is indeed a magic weapon for defeating the enemy, but how easy is it to say that it is to grasp its essence? Those who can unswervingly hold on to this point in the face of temptation and pressure, except for China, may not be able to find a second one on the Blue Star, right? Those countries in Africa have been colonized for a long time, and after independence, the political situation is often turbulent, and the political forces of various factions have their own plans, so it is really an extravagant hope to let them grit their teeth and tighten their belts to accomplish something.

"I mean, they should at least be aware of that. We can help them with what to do. Feng Xiaochen changed his words.

Meng Fanze said: "There is some truth in saying this, you can tell me your specific thoughts." ”

Feng Xiaochen didn't dare to play tricks, and said honestly: "My consideration is that we should set up some training courses and recruit some African officials and young talents to receive training, so that they can learn from our construction experience, and at the same time cultivate their feelings for China." In this regard, Western countries did earlier and better than us, and now the leaders and government officials of most African countries have been cultivated by the West and are emotionally closer to the West. This time, we were attacked at our service center in Zhangwen, and the mastermind behind it was the German company Promethe, in fact, the Gosner police had long known about the situation, but they were just protecting the shortcomings and deliberately letting the gangsters escape. ”

"It's true that if we want to run Africa, we can't do it without people close to us. Meng Fanze said approvingly, he now accepts the term "running Africa", which is Feng Xiaochen's brainwashing ability.

Feng Xiaochen continued: "In addition to training African officials, we should also send people to Africa to help them with construction, and send our management experience and ideas to them. ”

"You mean, like your uncle Feng Fei?" asked Dong Lao.

Feng Xiaochen said: "Yes, just like my uncle. According to my uncle, he worked as a military adviser to the military in the country of Dee and trained many middle and lower level officers, who were later promoted to key positions in the military. These people have a good impression of China, and I heard that they shout passwords with a Nanjiang provincial accent when they take exercises. ”

"Haha, there is such a thing?" Dong Lao and Meng Fanze both laughed, imagining a group of black soldiers shouting "one, two, three, four" in Chinese with a Nanjiang accent, no matter how they pondered, they all had some joy.

"However, my uncle's influence alone is limited. Feng Xiaochen said, "In the past, our country also had some sporadic aid plans for Africa, and some people were sent. Including our equipment industry company, we have also sent engineers to Africa. But this is far from enough, and the influence of these people alone is not enough to offset the influence left by Western countries in one or two hundred years. I think we should step up our support for talent in Africa, and ideally make sure that every government building in Africa has at least one Chinese face. ”

"Ho, what a big deal!" Meng Fanze smacked his tongue, "There are more than 50 countries in Africa, and each country has dozens of government departments, if you add local governments, how many people do you plan to send over?"

"One or twenty thousand. Feng Xiaochen said lightly.

"One or twenty thousand ......" Dong Lao repeated Feng Xiaochen's words, was silent for a moment, nodded and said, "This number is really not much. ”

Meng Fanze smiled dumbly: "Elder Dong, one or two hundred thousand people is indeed not much, but if we send one or two hundred thousand cadres to Africa at once, this is a big move, how will the international community view us?"

Dong Lao waved his hand and said, "This is okay, we can quietly enter the village, don't shoot." ”

When he said the last sentence, he laughed first, and Meng Fanze and Feng Xiaochen also laughed. Feng Xiaochen knew that this sentence was a line from the old movie "Tunnel War". There were few movies filmed in the past, and many movies were watched many times, and the lines in them were memorized very well, so they were said with one mouth. What Feng Xiaochen didn't expect was that an old man like Dong Lao, who looked quite serious, would actually play this kind of stalk.

Everyone laughed, and Meng Fanze said: "I understand what Dong Lao meant, let's not send personnel in the name of government consultants, but can borrow other banners, such as managers of Chinese-funded enterprises." After arriving in Africa, let them have more contact with local officials, win the favor of local officials, and then gradually intervene in their daily management affairs. The process should be very long, maybe five years, maybe 10 years. ”

"As long as it's not more than ten years, it's worth doing. Feng Xiaochen said, "Since it is a business, you can't rush it." If we were able to reach half of the African countries in 10 years, we would have been very successful. ”

"It was a great success. Dong Lao said, he looked back at the secretary, and the secretary waved the notebook in his hand to him, indicating that he had recorded the conversation just now. Dong Lao nodded and said, "I have written down this matter, and I will submit a report to the central government to systematically elaborate on the problems of running Africa." ”

Meng Fanze tapped his head with his finger and said, "I have also written it down, and when I go back, I will also write a report." ”

"Then I'm relieved. With your two veteran leaders making suggestions to the central authorities, this matter can be regarded as eighty or ninety percent certain. Feng Xiaochen said.

Dong Lao's face sank and said, "What do you mean by this? Lao Meng and I are just helping you beat the side drum, and this proposal was put forward by you, of course, you must first make a proposal to the central authorities, and we just seconded it." If we want to run Africa in the future, we will rely on you young people, and Lao Meng and I are both in our eighties, how can we take care of these things?"

"This Xiao Feng has always been slippery!" Meng Fanze said, "It was like this every time in the past, obviously he had a good idea himself, and he had to borrow someone else's mouth to say it." The state makes you the general manager of the equipment industry company, not to fan the flames behind your back, but to let you take charge of the situation. If you have any ideas, what does the state want you to do as a general manager?"

In the latter words, he said it to Feng Xiaochen, and there were three points of ridicule in his tone, but seven points were serious. Feng Xiaochen was a little embarrassed, thinking about it seriously, it seemed that he was indeed a little too clumsy. In the past, as a traverser, he had an advanced vision, but his age was a hard injury, and some shocking ideas could only be reflected to his superiors through Meng Fanze and Luo Xiangfei. And when he talked about these thoughts to Meng Fanze and Luo Xiangfei, he also tried his best to cover them up, for fear that he would be regarded as a demon by the other party. Meng Fanze didn't pay much attention to this at first, but after being in contact with him for a long time, he also touched his details.

In the past, out of the idea of protecting Feng Xiaochen, although Meng Fanze knew that Feng Xiaochen was passing on the word through his mouth, he was also willing to be this setter. But time has passed, and now Feng Xiaochen is the age of Bensi, and he has become the general manager of the equipment industry company, and he belongs to the person who has the right to speak.

For those higher-level leaders who don't know Feng Xiaochen, they will think that Feng Xiaochen has no level and can't put forward any insights, which is obviously not conducive to Feng Xiaochen's further development.

"You are a talented person, and your mind is like an awl, which cannot be hidden. Now is the time for your generation to make a difference, you should be bold and do what you want to do, don't worry about what others say, your ability and your loyalty to the cause are clear organizationally. Dong Lao said meaningfully.

Feng Xiaochen nodded solemnly and said, "Elder Dong, Minister Meng, you are right in your criticism, I am indeed a little timid. What Dong Lao said here today will be sorted out after I go back and submitted to the leaders of the Economic Commission as a report. If the leaders of the Economic Commission feel that what I said is reasonable and agree to submit the report to the central authorities, then the second elder will need to beat more side drums for me. ”

"Haha, no problem, but you don't need to beat the drum with a hammer. Your idea is very good, with or without us beating the side drum, your report will be taken seriously. Meng Fanze said.

In this conversation, Feng Xiaochen gained the most from these last words. The statements of Dong Lao and Meng Fanze represent the recognition of the older generation of leaders. Soon after this conversation, Feng Xiaochen was absorbed into the party group of the Economic and Trade Commission and became a member of the leadership of the Economic and Trade Commission. Subsequently, his name was added to the lists of members, members, trustees, etc., in several general governing bodies of the country, which gave him the opportunity to participate in many higher-level decision-making meetings.

As for the idea of running Africa, as Dong Lao said, as soon as it was put forward, it attracted the attention of the central leadership. The history of China-Africa cooperation can be traced back to the 60s, and it has developed rapidly in recent years, but the concept of "management" put forward by Feng Xiaochen still has a lot of new ideas. In the past, China-Africa cooperation was shallow and China provided assistance to Africa out of humanitarian and geopolitical considerations, but Feng Xiaochen put Africa in the context of China's strategic depth and put forward a set of plans to help Africa rise, which is very different from previous cooperation.

Of course, this is not because the previous leaders were short-sighted, but simply because China lacked strength in the past, and Africa's resources and markets did not mean much to China, and China's energy could only be limited to doing its own thing. Now, the country's strength has increased, foreign trade has changed from a resource exporter to a resource importer, and there is a faint shadow of the world's factory in production, and Africa's value to China is increasing.

In this case, even without such a time-traveler as Feng Xiaochen, wise leaders will also start to think about the problem of running Africa.
